Movies at Home vs Movies in Theaters

Covid has obviously changed a lot of things and one of those things is watching movies. With all the streaming services that are available the need to go to the movie theaters has decreased a lot. This raises the question of which is better at-home movies or going to the theater to see movies. Both options have their pros and cons. At-home movies are extremely convenient as you don't have to drive anywhere or worry about getting somewhere at a certain time because you can watch the movie wherever and whenever you want to. However, when you go to the theaters the quality of the big screen and speakers is something that is hard to replicate at-home. The big screen can definitely improve the viewing experience of the movie. When it comes to snacks during the movie, it is definitely cheaper at home than at the theaters. You could always go to the store before going to the theater to get some snacks, but even then, you are still overpaying for drinks and popcorn. Movie theaters have a newer selection of movies, but at-home movies have a larger variety, and most movies go to some streaming services after being in the theaters. With at-home movies, you also don't have to deal with other people who could be annoying or obnoxious. In my opinion, at home movies are better than going to the theaters but I still go to the theater every once in a while.

    I definitely agree with you! I find myself drawn to enjoying more movies at home based on the convenience of it. I also agree that the add-ons like snacks and drinks at movie theaters are outrageously expensive and should be lowered. Do you think movie theaters would be more enjoyable if it was more convenient like at home? I think if that were to happen more and more people would come out to the theaters again. I haven't been to the movie theater in such a long time as well but I will go if there is a amazing movie premiering.

My Thoughts on Get Out

Image
 Get Out is a 2017 horror film that was written and directed by Jordan Peele. The film's main character Chris is played by Daniel Kaluuya. The film is about Chris who meets his girlfriend Rose's family on a weekend trip to her family's house. Everything seems normal at first, but Chris quickly finds out that Rose's family isn't normal. Eventually, he finds out that Rose and her family abduct and brainwash black people and put the consciousness of other people in them. The film was really interesting and very suspenseful towards the last 30 minutes when Chris puts everything together and tries to escape. I personally enjoyed the movie but did not expect that type of movie from Jordan Peele, who became famous for his comedy skits. However, I think the comedy side of Jordan Peele was seen through Chris's friend Rod, who added a comedic effect to the movie. I think this character was really important to the film as he broke the tension throughout the movie. This mad...

My Thoughts on Moonlight

Image
 Barry Jenkins' 2016 film Moonlight is a coming-of-age film that follows the life of a homosexual black man named Chiron. It has a unique style, where it broke his life up into three chapters. The first chapter is titled Little and takes place when he is a kid. He meets Juan, a drug dealer, when he is running away from other kids who are chasing him and calling him names. In the first chapter, Juan acts as a father figure for Chiron as he often runs away from his house to go to Juan's house. Juan has a roommate Terresa who is somewhat of a mother figure for Chiron. Later in the chapter, we find out that Chiron's mom is a drug addict. Chapter two follows Chiron when he is a teenager. He still is dealing with bullies and his drug-addicted mother. He spends the night at Teresa's house because his mom told him he had to leave the house for the night. It seems that he would often go to Juan and Terresa's house while growing up. We find out that Juan died and seems like C...

My Thoughts on Marie Antoinette

Image
Marie Antoinette is a historical film written and directed by Sofia Coppola. Kirsten Dunst stars as Marie Antoinette in the 2006 film. The film follows Marie Antoinette as she becomes queen of France and ends with her leaving the Palace of Versailles during the French Revolution. The movie does follow a historical plot but does not feel like a history lesson, which helps the movie. The plot includes her going to parties and having parties of her own, which makes the movie less boring. However, I did not enjoy the movie that much. I think it is watchable, but I wouldn't watch it again. There were times when the movie skipped ahead in time and I didn't realize right away, which made it a little hard to follow. I also felt that there was no real storyline, it was almost a long montage of her life. However, the set of the movie was very impressive due to the fact that the movie was filmed at the actual Palace of Versailles. This resulted in some very impressive shots during the mov...
